His chief exploits in Gaul were the defeat of the Treviri under Indutiomarus in 54, his expedition against Lutetia (Paris) in 52, and his victory over Camulogenus and the Aedui in the same year. He was Caesar's friend and chief deputy in the Gallic War and a skillful cavalry commander. On the outbreak of the civil war (49), however, he was one of the first to desert Caesar, apparently resentful at lack of recognition. He was rapturously welcomed on the Pompeian side, bringing 3700 Gallic and German cavalry with him. But his ill fortune under Pompey was as marked as his success had been under Caesar. From the defeat at the Battle of Pharsalus, to which he had contributed by affecting to despise his late comrades, he fled to Corcyra, and thence to Africa. There he was able by mere force of numbers to inflict a slight check upon Caesar at the Battle of Ruspina in 46. After the defeat at the Battle of Thapsus he joined Gnaeus Pompey the Younger in Hispania, and was killed at Munda. His son was Quintus Labienus.
